The Central Banking Awards 2020 virtual ceremony

Central Banking was joined by representatives of the winners of the Central Banking Awards 2020 to celebrate their achievements during a virtual awards presentation published today. The annual Central Banking Awards, now in their seventh year, recognise excellence in the central banking community,

The formal presentation of the awards was made to the governors and business-line heads of central banks and market practitioners, as well as to Otmar Issing, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, by Christopher Jeffery, editor-in-chief and chairman of the Central Banking Awards Committee.

The Central Banking Awards trophies, made of sustainable materials, were presented at a virtual ceremony this year after Central Banking’s flagship March events were twice-postponed. Those events – including National Asset-Liability Management Global Virtual and FinTech & RegTech Virtual Supervisory Summit, as well as modules specifically focused on areas such as communication and currency management – dubbed Central Banking week, will now take place via video conference from October 26–29.

Many award-winners will participate in Central Banking’s virtual events in late October, which will include a ‘fireside chat’ with founding European Central Bank chief economist and director Otmar Issing.

See below for the timings to view individual award categories and acceptance comments from luminaries such as Ernest Addison, Alejandro Alegre, Pierre Blanchet, Mark Carney, Herve de Laforcade, Fiona van Echelpoel, Frank Elderson, Koba Gvenetadze, Otmar Issing, Isabela Maia, Brent Neiman, Roberto Campos Neto, Veerathai Santiprabhob, Sandro Streit and Rebecca Williams.
